Detailed Description

Stant 13376 engine coolant thermostat is engineered as an OE Type replacement for vehicles that call for a 160 degree thermostat. The design follows original equipment dimensions and uses a stainless steel assembly to support smooth, repeatable opening and closing action. Key measurements include a 1.375-inch bypass plate diameter, 2.125-inch flange diameter, and 1.2-inch overall height from flange to bottom. This thermostat is listed across many fitments, including Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volvo S40 applications, along with additional classic and late-model coverage. If you are servicing a Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf, or Volvo S60 cooling system, Stant 13376 provides the correct OE Type thermostat format for the application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a thermostat that is stuck open or stuck closed
• Restoring proper coolant temperature control
• Addressing slow warm-up or overheating concerns tied to thermostat failure
• Matching a 160 degree alternate-temperature cooling specification
• Servicing cooling systems that require an OE Type thermostat profile

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat temperature rating and housing requirements before installation. Fitment notes include applications that specify alternate temperature use, and one Fiat 128 listing excludes the housing. Confirm the part number 13376 against the vehicle’s cooling system specification before assembly. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
